DAN A4-SFX v4.1

Yeah I just read that, unfortunally after odering the new Version of the Case. I currently have no Idea how to get the Front IO working without any support for this header.

Unfortunatly this Adapter works in the exact opposite direction as needed. This one turns the old USB 3.0 into the 3.1 Header which goes into the Mainboard. So I`m still left open with the unabitlity to plug the IO into the Mainboard. But thanks for the Respond!

Of course, you're right. I got the wrong one. I meant something like this:

This one should work pretty well. Thank you!

This one should work pretty well. Thank you!

Does the V4.1 require this $40 adapter in order for the front panel usb-c to work?

 

[AlexTSG]

@Necere posted a list of the boards that currently have a header for the front panel USB C here:

https://smallformfactor.net/forum/t...-a-type-e-header-for-front-panel-usb-c.11191/

It's mainly Intel boards at the moment, but I'm hoping we'll see AMD X570 boards with the connector soon.

Hello!
Is there a list somewhere of RTX 2080 Super that fits reasonably well in the Dan?

 

[croat1986]

@ Vilmir you can 't go wrong with EVGA , even RTX 2080Ti can fit easily.

Just watch out that the card is 2 slot ( 2.5 and 3 slot cards don't fit in the case)

... it also has aditional sensors

 

[croat1986]

Guys is this the same adapter that you mentioned post abbove ?

... but in half the price 20 $

Nobody noticed that, that even if you connect adapter to MBO you dont have any clearance from PSU to connect front USB case cable.

Blue extension cable needs to go first , then ADAPTER , then lasty Front USB cable.

20 pin (on) MBO USB connector >> Extension Cable >> ADAPTER >> Front USB case cable

@croat1986 Yes youre right. Although this isnt a pretty solution, it will only work this way.

Beside that, does anyone know if a AM4 Socket Motherboard with USB 3.2 Gen2 Header will come out in the near future?

If Asus didn't do it with the x570 Strix I have to say chances are slim.

 

[FaKe_VirTual]

@rfarmer As much as I know they didnt include one at their new X570 Motherboard...

NVDIA GPU Compatibility List

I made an NVDIA GPU compatibility list for the Dan A4 based on specs on the website. I was able to get most specs on each manufacturers websites but some may be inaccurate or missing. Please let me know and I will correct it. Feel free to use this and make a better one for us all as I'm not that...

[Vilmir]

Thanks but this post only mentions the 10X0 and 20X0 generations. Apparently the limit for the width is about 4.6 cm. Almost no 2080 super respects this limit in the cards available in my country.

Hi guys, I purchased the case a few minutes ago and can't stop to wonder what should I do with the front 3.2 type C port? Or is there any gadget using I can I put on it without disrupting the clean aesthetic? How did you guys plan to use it?

 

[Multiplexer]

You don't have to use it. I don't use any USB port on any of my case, I only use the USB on the monitor, or a USB hub with fast charger connected to a power point. Personally I prefer no port, keep it simple and logativity, there is already talk of USB4 https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/201...-will-mostly-unify-usb-and-thunderbolt/?amp=1

I use it to plug an android device for app debugging. You can also put a hub with different ports that can be easier to access than the rear ports.

After a lot of researching I coulndt find any other way to solve the Problem with the lacking USB 3.2 Gen 2 on AM4 boards.
So does anybody know if you can buy the Front Panel Cable with USB 3.2 gen 1 from the A4 SFX V4 seperatly?
This could be a cleaner solution in my Case, because I dont wanna cramp all these adapters in the already pretty thight chassis.

 

[dondan]

This is the easiest solution to get Key-A support on AM4

I noticed on the Overclockers UK page for the A4-SFX V4.1 that the description states "3M Riser cable completely in black, certified for PCI3 4.0". Does the riser cable now have a black PCB and black (I'm guessing wrapped in 3M™ Acetate Cloth Tape similar to how Gigabyte (GP-PCIE20) requested 3M wrap theirs) Twin Axial silver cables?

OR has Overclockers UK made a mistake?

Edit: I think it's a mistake (copy paste of V4 onto to V4.1 specs but replaced ADT with 3M but didn't remove the "completely in black" comment) because V4 was stated by caseking.de as having:

• "New riser cable R33UF-TU 180 mm from ADT completely in black"
